सत्रा सोमा अभवन्नस्य विश्वे सत्रा मदासो बृहतो मदिष्ठाः । सत्राभवो वसुपतिर्वसूनां दत्रे विश्वा अधिथा इन्द्र कृष्टीः ॥

satrā́ sómā abhavann asyá víśve satrā́ mádāso bṛható mádiṣṭhāḥ | satrā́bhavo vásupatir vásūnāṃ dátre víśvā adhithā indra kṛṣṭī́ḥ ||

Toutes les libations de Soma devinrent pour lui une puissance sans rupture ; les ivresses sublimes furent constantes et les plus intenses. Sans cesse tu devins seigneur des richesses, seigneur des richesses ; comme donateur tu établis à leur place tous les peuples, ô Indra.
